Summer Fruit Coffeecake

PollyAugust 23, 2025August 28, 2025

I adore coffeecake. Coffeecake is served warm, so it’s comforting and can be served directly from the pan it was baked in. It doesn’t have frosting, so it’s not too-too overly sweet. It’s communal, shouting out to be shared with…

Tropical Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

PollyApril 25, 2025August 28, 2025

The biggest issue with this dish is when to eat it! Is it a dessert? Appetizer? Snack? All three work, but I think the best is a quiet summer afternoon on the porch with a chilled beverage of choice. Tropical…

Pumpkin-Chocolate Cake

PollyOctober 25, 2023August 28, 2025

This is the BEST cake to serve at this time of year (or any other time of the year, actually)!  It’s a good chocolate cake – a very, very good chocolate cake; it’s moist, and nicely chocolate-y, and made richer with some pumpkin…

Sweet and Cinnamon-y Apple Bread

PollySeptember 9, 2023August 28, 2025

Bread baking is my Everest—meaning I haven’t conquered it yet! I’m not even at base camp so the bread recipes that appeal to me are easy and pretty much foolproof 🙂  Here’s one of my favorites! The recipe is so…

New York Style Coffee Coffeecake

PollyFebruary 5, 2021July 18, 2025

I love New York style coffeecake. For years I have had in mind the perfect New York style coffeecake, and I have tried many recipes in my search to produce that coffeecake. What I have in mind is a 1:1…

I hear mini pies are all the rage now. Bye-bye cake pops and chocolate with bacon; hellooooooo mini pies!  Here’s a great recipe with which to start.  Having made this recipe a few times, I now know a few things…

Photo by Home & Plate I love Honey Baked ham.  Love it, love it, love it! But have you heard the definition of eternity? Two people and a ham!  Thank goodness I have a panini press for grilled ham and Swiss sandwiches. Thank goodness…

Chai Hot Chocolate For Two

PollyFebruary 26, 2011August 28, 2025

Time to huddle in front of the fire with a good book, a quilt, and a cup of grown up hot chocolate, Chai Hot Chocolate. I think you’ll like this; it’s familiar but different, and it’s lighter than regular hot chocolate.…

About Me

polly of the kitchen

It's all about the recipe—really, it is! I have amassed quite a collection of recipes from my favorite cookbooks, food magazines, friends, the Internet, and more recently my adult daughters. I test every recipe I post. Some I've been cooking for years, decades even, and a few I have made only a few times. I don't post mediocre recipes. I don't post good recipes. I post GREAT recipes! When I find a recipe I LOVE, I can't wait to share it. I started In the Kitchen with Polly on January 01, 2010, a joint venture between myself and my non-cooking but most excellent webmaster, proofreader, technical goddess and all-around bestie, ratty (not a joke—ratty is her chosen nickname—her Mama didn’t do that to her, she did it to herself!). Last year we hit a snag—the website went up in monstrous flames. It took a long time to sort out what happened and even longer to recreate what was lost. Hundreds of pictures gone, and every recipe we posted (300+) over the last 14 years had to be reformatted, many pictures retaken. It's done now though, and we are back! I like this brighter version :) Scroll through! Find something you like, and let's get cooking! There’s a search button and there are also tags to click on if you want to find a recipe for a specific food. If you need it, the print button is on the preview page and at the end of each post.

Enjoy!
